MILITIA AT THE CENTENNIAL.
Maine Soldiers Preparing to Start
With Loaded Knapsacks.

AUGUSTA, Aug. 26.-There was meeting
today at the Adjutant Generals Office of Off
GERS Of the militia to make arrangements for
the coming Constitutional Centenary at Phil
adelphia, which will be attended by the Gov
ernor and staff, State officers and eight COM
panies of the militia. Nearly every compa-
ny was represented, Co. A, of Portland by
Capt Charles W. Davis, and Co. B by Capt.
Benj A. Norton. The Montgomery Guards
of Portland and Hersey Light Infantry of
Oldtown, were not represented, as they do
not furnish any details for Philadelphia.
The new company at Bangor, an order for
the muster and election Of officers. of which
win be issued tonight, may furnish its quota
for the Centenary, but this is undecided. The
Frontier Guards are to furnish twenty men,
although none of their officers were here to-
day, owing to the travel which would be re-
quired.
Among the others in attendance today
were Adjutant General S. j. Gallagher and
Lient Col, E. Herbert Ballou, of this city.
While the proposed trip was thoroughly dis
decided upon. The detachment will be made
up into eight companies, and they will prob
ably meet at Portland Sept. 14th, thence
travelling by special train. Itwas suggested
that the men fill their knapsacks with ra-
tions on starting for sustenance until reach
ing their destination, and adopt the same
course on returning. The rates Of transpor-
tation, very important matter, have not
been ascertained fully as yet, and Inspector
General Beale was in Boston yesterday, on
business pertaining to the cost of travel.
The exhibits of the several States at the
celebration will be displayed in the process
sion. and it has not been found practicable
to represent Maine in this department. No
appropriation was made by the legislature.
and the parties could not afford to defray the
expense of transportation.

EAST POLAND, Aug. 26.
The three first days Of the present week
were unfavorable for eampmeeting purpOs
es, it having rained almost continuously
during that time. As nearly all the society
and cottage tents on the ground were scarce
ly covered before the rain, the occupants
were not greatly disturbed by it. The
preaching services were held In the chapel
and the social meetings in the large society
tents. OF course the rain kept away more or
less people from the meeting for the time
being. yet the large number Of people stop
ping upon the grounds made up good con-
gretion at the public services.
Yesterday the sun again made its appear
anee, and the public services were held at
the stand. attended by a fair audience. In
the afternoon very able and eloquent SER
mon was preached by Rev. III. Hewett of
Monmouth. Mr.. Hewett came to the Maine
Conference at its last session from the Con-
gregationalists, and II his sermon yesterday
Is fair specimen Of his ability as a pulpit
orator he will take rank among the ablest
preachers in the conference. Among those
expected to preach before the close Of the
meeting are Rev. X. G.. Green of Boston,
Rev. A. 5. Ladd Of Auburn. Rev. E. S.
Stackpole Of Portland, for Sunday, Rev. DIR.

UTEs AFTER A MAINE MAN.
The Tough BulI-hide Shield that Pre-
served an Adventurous Brave.

Mr.. Frank w. Thurston, of Leadville, Col
orado, formerly Of Union, Maine, had a mar
row escape from the bloodthirsty Ute In
dians, now on the war path, says the Rock
land Opinion. He was down in the vicinity
Of White river, in Colorado, where he owns
ranch, looking after some cattle. The In.
dians were encountered near the head Of the
river. Mr.. Thurston was with party Of ten
teams, and they rounded up" on a small
hill, with their horses inside The Indians
attacked them, and were kept at a distance
by the long-range rifles of the settlers The
siege was kept up from 8 a. m. to D. m,
wher company Of militia arrived and drove
the Indians away. There was no loss on
either side. The Indians, as Is their custom,
fought under cover, and the whites were
well protected. 1t seems that the Utes use
rawhide shields and armor, which will either
turn or check the speed of bullet so as to
protect them In measure. In the engage
ment, one Indian frequently came up TO
within fifty yards of the besieged, and Mr..
Ihurston is sure that he sent several bullets
that hit him. A number of ponies were shot
under him. Finally he accidentally dropped
the shield, which he had kept In front of him
all the time, and 1t was taken by the whites
IL was Is inches in diameter, and was made
OF four thicknesses Of rawhide. He probab-
ly had his body protected with the same ma
terial. The shield was taken to Leadville,
and experiments showed that bullets from
the best guns would not penetrate It,

o'clock the boiler was fred up for business
